I made a mixed media layout for our current sketch challenge. I followed the sketch and the blue appeares in some pieces of jeans. I worked on white paper and added some torn scrapbook papers to create the 3 lines, then I covered the paper with clear gesso. For the background I used different stencils with modelling paste and colored with some blue, brown and orange mists. Under my photo I layered some papers and at the end I embellished with chipboards, flowers, metal and paper embellishments.

It's Denise here today to share my take on the sketch challenge this month.

Here's a reminder of the sketch.

I created a mixed media card using some Graphic 45 goodies from my stash.

It has a steampunk theme to it. I used some cogs, which I heat embossed, along with some fussy cut goodies and a gorgeous tag! ;-)

I also used some copper crackle paste and paints for the background.

So now we would love to see what you create.
